Islamophobia kills. We just saw this again in Minneapolis, when a 40-year-old Australian woman, Justine Ruszczyk Damond, was killed by a rogue cop.

It is a cherished fiction on the Left that there exists an “Islamophobia Industry,” a well-funded group of propagandists who spread hatred of Muslims solely to line their pockets. This is as ridiculous as it is libelous, but there really is an Islamophobia Industry, and it is a group of well-funded propagandists. In reality, however, it is not in the business of spreading “anti-Muslim bigotry.” Instead, it propagates the idea that Muslims in the U.S. are the recipients of widespread discrimination and harassment, and so must be accorded special accommodation and consideration. That idea has just taken the life of Justine Ruszczyk Damond.

Damond called 911 in Minneapolis Saturday night to report what she thought might be a rape. When police arrived, she approached the police car, and a Minneapolis police officer named Mohamed Noor shot her dead.

Mohamed Noor is a Somali Muslim. Last year, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges expressed her excitement about his joining the police force:

I want to take a moment to recognize Officer Mohamed Noor, the newest Somali officer in the Minneapolis Police Department. Officer Noor has been assigned to the 5th Precinct, where his arrival has been highly celebrated, particularly by the Somali community in and around Karmel Mall.

Hodges was excited about Noor because he represented a religious and ethnic group that she was anxious to court. Mohamed Noor was a symbol of everything that Minneapolis officials valued most. They could point to him and say: See? We are not “Islamophobic.” We celebrate diversity. We love our Somali Muslim community, and when they see how they are loved, they will end all jihad activity, because violent jihad is just a reaction to injustices that Infidels perpetrate.

And so it was very important to the Minneapolis Police Department, and to city officials, that Mohamed Noor succeed. He graduated from a fast-track program to get onto the force in the first place. They had to have him.

But his competence as a police officer was always secondary to his ethnicity and religion. And even if he didn’t graduate, nothing would be done. To have removed him would have been “Islamophobic.”

He is extremely nervous … he is a little jumpy … he doesn’t really respect women, the least thing you say to him can set him off.

When the neighbor heard that Noor was the cop who had shot an unarmed woman, he wasn’t surprised:

When they say a policeman shot an Australian lady I thought uh oh, but then when they said who it was, I was like, “OK.”

None of this mattered. Noor could have marched into Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges’ office and announced that she would henceforth be his infidel sex slave, and he would have remained on the force.

Justine Damond suffered the consequences of this identity-based policing. If the Minneapolis Police Department hired and fired police officers based solely on their fitness for the job, and not on their usefulness as symbols of Minneapolis’ commitment to diversity and resolve to fight “Islamophobia,” Justine Damond would be alive today.

Even in the wake of Justine Damond’s death, Minneapolis multiculturalists aren’t about to reconsider their religion. They are doubling down.

Hodges immediately recognized — as authorities do everywhere after jihad attacks — that the real victims are not those who were killed or wounded, but the Muslim community. She wrote on her Facebook page:

To the Somali community: I want you to know that you are a valued and appreciated part of Minneapolis. I stand with you and support you. The strength and beauty of the Somali and East African communities are a vital part of what makes Minneapolis so strong and beautiful. I am grateful to be your neighbor.

This week a Somali police officer, Officer Mohamed Noor, shot and killed a woman under circumstances we don’t yet comprehend. Justine Damond’s death was tragic and awful for everyone. And I want to be very clear that Officer Noor, a fully trained officer in the Minneapolis Police Department, won’t be treated differently than any other officer.

Justine’s death is a tragedy for our city. We cannot compound that tragedy by turning to racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia. It is unjust and ridiculous to assert that an entire community be held responsible for the actions of one person. That will not be tolerated in Minneapolis. If you are experiencing discrimination, you can file a complaint at http://www.minneapolismn.gov/civil…/discrimination-complaint

Hodges should have issued a statement saying that she recognized that Mohamed Noor was not hired because he was competent, but because he was a Somali Muslim. And that she sees now that Leftist social engineering on the police force costs lives.

She should have promised that from now on, police officers will be hired based on their fitness for the job, not their religion or ethnicity….

Comments

Robert Spencer is certainly correct: The FAKE narrative that Islam MAY NOT BE CRITICIZED under any circumstance allows the HIRING and PROMOTION of unqualified Muslims to positions in which they ENDANGER THE PUBLIC.

DIVERSITY HIRES and PROMOTIONS put LIVES AT RISK. No UNQUALIFIED, SUB PAR person should be hired to satisfy DIVERSITY NARRATIVES.

Anyone carrying a PISTOL or a RIFLE on public service should NOT be a SUBPAR, LOW-IQ INBRED with INTERMITTENT EXPLOSIVE DISORDER !

Justine is just another victim of the left’s mad drive to islamize this country. The left wants us to say nothing, and we’ll be all right. Justine is just an annoyance to the left. She is inconvenient. They want her to go away, and to make that happen, they are turning the murder into “all cops shoot innocent people,” thus transforming the killing into “White cop kills Black kid,” a narrative that they know how to play all too well.

Notice that not long after the muslims came in to our countries i.e .the U.S. and Canada they started pushing sharia law and played the victim re islamophobia and laws were passed that forbid any negative comments re islam or their people. If that woman was my wife or family member I know what I would have done .P.D.Q

So far in the US we can still say whatever we wish about Islam and it’s adherents. We have the First Amendment and we will never give it up. The Supreme Court, as presently constituted, will not abolish that right. A left-leaning court would try to, but would not succeed.

“… entire Moslem population deported. They simply do not belong there at all.” I would venture to say that we’re 50 to 60 years away from that. Maybe 3 to 4 generations. Some say sooner. I don’t think it will be soon. It has to get worse before society is willing to properly identify and protect itself. I won’t be around to see it but my comment here might. If it’s 2070 and you’re reading this, carry on, be strong in the Lord (not ‘allah’).

To abad:
Noor should be drug tested his home search he is the one who took an oath to protect the good people of the city. He either broke that oath or is an up to the standards to up hold it. To get to the bottom of it he should be the focus, but the media and progressive governments can not look at anyone Islamic having short comings. We must lower the standards to keep a voting block of angry people who belong to a cult that has no self reflection happy. If that cop were white and named Robert Jones,or American black named Tom Smith, or names like Gracia or Chin what would the investigation be like? People of Islam have no shame about anything done to Kaffir people up to including killing them.

This was the result of Islamophilia – a naive virtue seeking behavior that ignores all the warning signs and seeks gratitude from those who have nothing but contempt and enmity to our society. It is a servile groveling that, in this particular case, resulted in the cold blooded murder of an innocent non-Muslim.

Just how extensive were the police checks on this guy’s background, both here from in Somalia? Have they checked out his computer for any evidence that he could be a closet Islamist.
The situation that night of her slaying would have provided an opportunity for an Infidel killing one might get away with.

It is the ideology of Cultural Marxism and Critical Theory that has created this big mess in the first place. The idea is to criticise and eventually destroy society. This is the basis of the ideas the leftists adhere to. Not only in the US but in all western countries. Look it up.

They could point to him and say: See? We are not “Islamophobic.” We celebrate diversity. We love our Somali Muslim community, and when they see how they are loved, they will end all jihad activity, because violent jihad is just a reaction to injustices that Infidels perpetrate.

“they will end all jihad activity”, RE-READ that blurb! WHO, is the subject, THEY? Is the Mayoress a closet islamaphobe?

This case is getting a LOT of air time here in the Twin Cities. I guess there will be a petition to change venue. In the army I experienced men advanced beyond their abilities because they had the right support. Anyone who does not understand this is truly blind. Police are, I suspect, victims of this also. I also think Noor’s advancement meant he had license to act as he saw fit. After all, he got passes on his previous behavior. Funny, there is no BLM riots, yet. Maybe they’re waiting for charges to be pressed. Such action could spell a Trump-like citizen’s revolt in the coming mayoral election.
